    "Vegetarian" Business/Formal Shoe Options

    Ignoring all the tangents and insecure people who feel threatened because you don't eat meat (maybe they are cattle ranchers?) you might try MooShoes in NYC. (They have a website.) No, fake leather shoes won't be as well-crafted as higher end real leather shoes and no, they won't be as...

    Chino's/Khaki's

    I second the motion on Incotex. You can sometimes find them in the B/S section for much less than $250-300.

    Off 5th for suits?

    My local Off 5th just had racks and racks of Hugo Boss. Maybe they hid the nice stuff until the sale is over?

    How do you keep up the look of your black shoes

    I commend you for taking an interest in maintaining your shoes. Yes, there are better shoes than Kenneth Cole, but that's not the point. Reasonable care will make them hold up better than if you just trashed them. You're on the right path, so ignore the flak.

    Chicago area mens stores

    You might also explore Morris & Sons http://www.morrisandsons.com/ They are south of the loop but carry a lot of SF-friendly designers.

    Driving moccasins vs. boat shoes

    True driving shoes serve one purpose, but if you like the look and the fit (which tends to me more snug than boat shoes,) you can probably find something similar style-wise but with a more practical, street-friendly sole.

    J.Crew consensus

    To keep their prices down, they've really let quality slip over the years. The same can be said for Banana Republic. etc.

    Are your chinos cuffed ?

    Several pairs of chinos. Not a cuff in sight.

    Recieved wrong shirt shize from Shopthefinest

    I'm at a loss to understand why you spent so much energy complaining to strangers on a forum rather than just communicating directly with Ian as it seems he has addressed every concern you've had, aside from reading your mind.

    "Green" Drycleaning?

    It makes a lot of sense from an environmental (and health) perspective for dry cleaners to move away from using Perc (perchloroethylene) considering it is a health hazard. http://www.osha.gov/dsg/guidance/perc.html That said, I once had a very expensive suit ruined by a self-proclaimed "green"...

    Why is everyone here againt blacksuits/pants?

    There is nothing wrong with wearing a black suit if it suits your personal style.

    Can Slow Running Watch Be Fixed?

    With a Seiko, you are better off sending it back to the manufacturer for repair. Seiko movements are not quite as straightforward as classic manual and automatic movements. As a result, many highly skilled watchmakers will shy away from them because of this. I think Seiko has a service center on...

    Do you have a healthy mix of two button AND three button suits?

    Mostly 3 button. But I'm starting to see far more 2 button than 3 button in stores lately.

    is it sinful to mix and match suits?

    I wouldn't do it.

    Vegetarian shoes/belts/etc?

    I am a vegetarian but I still wear leather shoes and belt. I know it seems hypocritical, but with proper care leather shoes last longer, they breathe better, and I find them to be more comfortable. I have bought a few pair of vegan shoes in the past and found them to be too warm in summer or...

    How many times do you wear a dress shirt before it goes to the cleaners??

    Once and only once. But I usually hand wash my shirts.
